Butterfly Valley Resort

The butterflies are huge and the views breathtaking. There's a 5 mile loop trail that is a great hike. Breakfast and dinner buffet are included. The room was clean and freshly remodeled. Mosquitoes are an issue and kept showing up in the room though. I think they got in every time we opened the door, so plan accordingly.

This is a secluded, peaceful and beautiful hidden gem in Hualien. We greatly enjoyed the scenic trails in the park. We had done the circular trail which reaches the hanging bridge and ancient rock, as well as the shorter trail by the turquoise river. The hot springs and buffet style breakfast and dinner were also highlights. It’s nice to not have to plan for meals nor transport, as the resort can pick visitors from the nearest train station. I would suggest to include hand soaps and hooks to hang towels in each hotel room, as well as building a playground for the kids.

My wife and I came from the US. We stayed in room 509 for one night. The room was spacious and well-equipped. However, there was a big tree in the room. The glass surrounding the tree was dirty. The room had a tree-y and moldy smell because of the tree. We did not like the smell, but we could not switch rooms because we were told the resort was fully booked. My wife’s legs started to feel itchy that night. We saw bumps on her legs, probably flea bites. We were extremely disappointed with the condition of this room.
